The U.S. smashed heat records in March. Just wait for El Niño this summer March’s persistent heat was unseasonably intense, and the next year or so looks to turn the dial up on global warmth even more, as some forecasts predict a brewing El Niño will reach superstrength.

March's persistent unseasonable heat was so intense that the continental United States registered its most abnormally hot month in 132 years of records, according to federal weather data. https://to.pbs.org/3Ogo4AX

All federal wind power R&D at the Department of Energy is $0.137 billion. So the government is paying 7x the amount it spends on all wind power R&D just for a fee to kill one wind project. Seems bad.

Worth a Look: Nature Climate Chang — Nature Climate Change finds that warming oceans are weakening sea–land breezes in most coastal megacities, reducing a natural cooling and ventilation system that supports urban liveability. https://go.nature.com/42dJBxs
